Squeaky Clean

There seems to be a recurring request from several people to clarify the inner workings of the toilet systems. That's what happens when all your friends are nurses (or Bruce). O.K. here it is, step-by-step:

1. You sit down. The toilet seat will already be lovely and toasty, but you can adjust the temperature to suit individual requirements. I forgot to mention that the seat lid will rise automatically when you approach - how cool is that?

2. If you are a noisy toilet-goer, you can press a button which mimics the flushing noise (to spare any blushes).

3. When you are ready, you then choose temperature, force and type of water jet. There is a more general bidet-effect or you can elect for the one-jet wonder (a surprisingly accurate device). This can continue for as long as you like (just press the stop button when ready). I should point out here that it is a separate water source from the cistern. Eremi tells me that the forceful jet can be adopted as a form of enema for desperate times.

4. Once done, you can then choose the drying setting (again, for as long as you like, depending on surface area). I can confirm there is no finite point for this particular function.

5. As you stand, the toilet will flush automatically. There is a button for "powerful deodoriser," (never tried this function).

6. There is often hands-free soap and water dispensing to complete the experience (Heidi & Dad, this toilet was made for you). You emerge as if you have just spent an afternoon down the Treatment Rooms; relaxed, calm, refreshed, confident and ready for anything.

I think you will all agree, there is room in everyone's life for one of these toilets. I might have to import the concept. Hopefully, the photos will further clarify the situation...

Absolutely fascinated - even though we're not nurses. (In a worried tone: it's not just nurses that use them, is it?)
The whole travelogue continues to be brilliant! A's Mum and Dad hope you can keep it up. We almost (!) wish we were with you. Keep enjoying.

I laughed so much at your comment I had to go and use the 21st century toilet myself :)
Don't really get the bowler hat bit though, I haven't spotted any anyway.

I only wish they had invented some kind of techno nappy changing machine, as I would find it most beneficial, esp the rate young Ruby seems to need to deposit her ....
Keep up the informative history and design lessons xxx
